Cuban-Trained Doctor/Defectors Crowd Miami.
From The NYTimes.
"Miami is awash with Cuban doctors who have defected in recent years. By some estimates, 6,000 medical professionals, many of them physicians, have left Cuba in the last six years."
One defector is quoted about the defectors' medical competence: “I can’t tell you that Cuban doctors are not well trained, but I can tell you that the books we used were edited in 1962, and for me, coming here was like starting all over again.”
